[TOP 6: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King - Roundup Complete.]
[Reward Summary: Transformation into a Dragon and Ascension to Godhood.]
There are also differences among the gods, which can be further divided into: Celestial Hunters, Priests, Third-Tier Gods, Second-Tier Gods, First-Tier Gods, and God-Kings.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has successfully transformed into a dragon and ascended to godhood. His initial divine rank is Level Three. With 20,000 years of cultivation and a powerful physique, his divine foundation far surpasses that of ordinary Level Three gods, giving him immense potential to reach Level One godhood. In the future, he is expected to ascend to the position of Ocean God, rivaling his former enemy, the Sea God Poseidon.
"Um???"
"Transforming into a dragon and becoming a god?"
Upon seeing the rewards compiled by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, everyone was stunned and somewhat dazed.
It turns out that the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain are not only about increasing the age of the Soul Ring and rewarding the age of cultivation, but also about the opportunity to become a god.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is now a being of 990,000 years. Even if it were rewarded with several hundred thousand more years of cultivation, it might not be able to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, it might perish and its cultivation would be extinguished.
However, directly rewarding someone with the transformation into a dragon and becoming a god is a different story.
With the reward from the Sky Curtain, "Transformation into a God" allows the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to become a god directly without having to undergo a million-year heavenly tribulation!
After all, the Heavenly Curtain is offering rewards, not sending the strong who receive the rewards to their deaths.
Boom—
A golden beam of light descended from the sky.
It instantly enveloped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The golden beam of light was warm and heavy. As soon as it landed on him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a surge of immense power flowing into his body.
His body, which had been severely damaged by Poseidon 20,000 years ago, was instantly restored.
Along with its 990,000 years of cultivation foundation, it also began to operate wildly, striving towards a higher realm.
The enormous body continued to evolve within the pillar of light. Its already formidable physique became even more resilient under the nourishment of divine power.
Each scale gradually shimmered with a faint golden luster, giving off a chilling and oppressive aura.
The surrounding seawater was stirred up by the power of the light pillar, creating towering waves, but it could not get even half a step closer to the light pillar, and could only roll and surge in the distance.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King closed his eyes, sensing the changes within his body, breaking through the bottleneck that had previously kept him at his peak for 990,000 years.
At this moment, it was like a window being torn open, breaking through without any hindrance, and his cultivation level directly entered the million-year level.
Immediately afterwards, a divine power began to gestate and grow within its body.
As the divine power grew stronger, three pale golden rings slowly emerged from behind it, revolving around its body, radiating a sacred and powerful aura.
Even from a great distance, all living beings on Douluo Star could clearly feel the pressure emanating from the gods, which made them feel awe.
In a short while, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King completed its transformation into a third-level deity.
Its aura was completely sublimated; it was no longer a soul beast from the Douluo Continent, but a genuine deity.
The pillar of light slowly dissipated, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened its eyes, a golden divine light flashing in them.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gently moved its body, and the surrounding seawater instantly calmed down. A powerful pressure belonging to a third-level deity spread throughout the entire ocean.
All the soul beasts in the ocean felt this oppressive aura and bowed their heads in submission, daring not to make the slightest move.
"Hahaha!"
"I, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, am the one chosen by the sea."
"Today I have become a god, and shall be the guardian of the sea, the true sea god, I am the Sea Dragon God."
"O creatures of the sea!"
"Prepare to welcome your God!"
"Poseidon, it's time to settle old scores!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a deafening laugh, his voice filled with excitement and ecstasy.
Its sound travels across the ocean and even reaches various parts of the continent.
This made everyone who saw the sky and felt this aura completely understand.
The rewards from the Heavenly Curtain can truly allow someone to ascend to godhood in one step!
All the powerful figures on the continent instantly turned their eyes on the sky with fervor, their hearts filled with anticipation.
I wonder who will be next to be listed?
What kind of reward will appear next?
Could it be that the opportunity to become a god will fall upon me?
...............
Endless ocean, Poseidon Island.
At this moment, the entire Poseidon Island fell into a deathly silence!
Inside the offering hall.
Poseidon then spoke—
"Seven Pillars, heed my command! Take some of the embers and leave Seagod Island..."
"Let Xiaobai take you to Douluo Continent..."
Upon hearing Poseidon's words, the Seven Pillars trembled violently, their faces turned ashen, and their hearts were consumed by endless despair.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed into a dragon and became a god; the first place he would seek revenge against would definitely be their Sea God Island.
None of these need to be verified.
Because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not only shouted it out in front of the sky.
It even directly used the divine power of a third-level god to proclaim to the entire world, its voice piercing through the clouds, crossing mountains and seas, and clearly echoing in every corner of the world.
"A grand...grand offering..."
The seven pillars looked at each other, their mouths slightly open, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
They and the High Priest have guarded Poseidon Island for decades and have long regarded it as their home.
But now, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has just become a god and has declared that he will destroy Seagod Island.
However, their revered sea god was far away in the divine realm and could not come to their aid in time.
Currently, the only powerful demigod on the island is the High Priestess. Even if she gives it her all and burns her life force, she may not be able to defeat a true god.
They were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do; they could only watch helplessly as disaster loomed.
Seahorse Douluo suddenly knelt down.
His voice was hoarse as he said—
"A grand offering!"
"I'm not leaving!"
"I am willing to live and die with Poseidon Island!"
The other six Sacred Pillar Douluos followed suit.
They roared in unison—
"We are willing to live and die with Poseidon Island!"
Fear is a biological instinct, courage is the hymn of humankind.
Whether it was out of their lifelong faith, or to protect their families and friends and safeguard the homeland they had lived in for generations, they could not back down.
As the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island, they have long since bound their lives to this land.
Even if it means facing the might of the gods and certain death, we must never let the glory of Seagod Island be destroyed in their hands!
Even though they knew they were no match for the enemy, and even though their hearts were filled with fear, this sense of responsibility and loyalty ingrained in their bones ultimately overcame their instinctive fear.
The soul power of the Seven Sacred Pillars erupted, even if it was like throwing an egg against a rock, they would still hold up the last line of defense for Seagod Island and their Grand Priest!
"Shut up, all of you!"
Poseidon closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and when she opened them again, only resolute determination remained in her eyes.
Her voice was calm yet carried an undeniable firmness.
"This is not a discussion, it is an order."
"Poseidon Island cannot lose its heritage. Only if you leave with the flame will there be hope for reconstruction..."
